BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Noodles &
Company (NASDAQ: NDLS), known for serving classic noodle, Zoodle
and Caulifloodle dishes from around the world, announced today that
team members will now be granted paid time off to exercise their
right to vote.
Whether team members plan to vote at the polls on Election Day
or complete a mail-in ballot, Noodles & Company is granting one
hour of paid time off to vote* and has also created an online
resource library for its team members. The resource library is full
of valuable information on how to register to vote, check voter
registration, find a designated polling place and other important
resources.
"We believe that voting is a right and a privilege — we
encourage all team members to take the time and vote," said
Dave Boennighausen, chief executive
officer of Noodles & Company. "Voting is more than just a means
to electing a candidate; it's about supporting policies and
initiatives that are important to you, as well as choosing the
right people to represent you and your interests. We are pleased to
offer these resources in time for our team members to register to
vote nationwide in the upcoming election."
Paid time off to vote is the latest addition to LifeAtNoodles,
Noodles' comprehensive, competitive team member benefits package.
Full of restaurant industry firsts — including parental benefits
like $10,000 for adoption assistance;
paid paternity leave; phase-out to maternity leave and phase back
into work at an 80% schedule for 100% pay; 100% pay for six weeks
of maternity leave; and instant pay — LifeAtNoodles aims to make
Noodles a great place to work and grow careers. The company plans
to announce more additions to its LifeAtNoodles benefits package in
the coming weeks.
"We are committed to investing in our team members by
implementing benefits and opportunities that will support an
inclusive and diverse environment where team members can thrive,"
said Boennighausen. "Inclusion begins when everyone's voice is
heard, and one of the most impactful ways we can speak up is with
our vote."
